Had a really great visit today and Bella was the best assistant ever! She made me feel calm and comfortable trying on different styles and made what is usually a stressful experience a pleasant one. As a female with a larger chest, I loved how soft and stretchy the fabric is while also making me feel sexy. Highly recommend! read more

The only boutique I'll go to for a bikini! The material is confortable and it's at an affordable price. Some may think it's too expensive, but to have high quality swimwear is very hard to find. Trust me. When I moved to Texas, I couldn't find anything even online! The style and design wasn't what I was looking for. The greatest thing of all is that shipping is $10 on their website! That's not bad! Pakaloha Bikinis has a variety of styles, colors, sizes for tops and bottoms. Try it all to find what you're most comfortable in. You'll look great in all of the styles. IMO The bikinis are very flattering to your body. The tops are on one side and bottoms on the other. If you're not sure, just ask. The staff are very helpful. In the dressing room, there's a QR code to accumulate points to get $$ off the next purchase. It's simple, quick, and FREE! I'm so glad that I came to Haleiwa to find Pakaloha. I didn't know the other location closed down. I'm sad to hear that one of my favorite bottoms will be retiring, but I'm looking forward to what Pakaloha has in store for the future! read more

We stopped in to this cute little shop while we were in the area in the North Shore. I loved how the merchandise was arranged in the store! The tops and bottoms were all arranged by color (hello Home Edit!) but it was practical since you really could mix and match as you want to. My daughter-in-law found a cute suit to buy and she is very happy with her purchase! read more

See all

I was a little intimidated by the setup but once I figured out how to look I was able to find everything I wanted. The material is so soft and the patterns are really beautiful, I didn't think it would be a great suit for swimming but the material is actually really strong and didn't stain with tanning lotion. Bikinis are so expensive these days! But here you get the quality you pay for. read more

The service was really good. I don't normally enjoy shopping and trying on clothes, but the girl that was working was really helpful and picked out a bikini that fit me perfectly. I'm definitely going to go back to get another one. She was blonde and had a few tattoos. She was really nice and helpful! read more

We really liked this shop! Their concept is great... a few different styles, all available in different colors/prints. the styles offer a good variety of coverage options. pricing is easy... basically one price for each piece. mix and match however you like. we found the girl working there to be incredibly helpful in finding whatever we needed. if it wasn't on the floor, she would go check the bins in back. i have to say... we got a peek at the bins... fantastic organization! i need someone that organized to come do my house! anyway, if you haven't been in, give it a try. can't go wrong. read more

Locally designed, made in Brazil. Francesca was the most helpful sales associate!!! Gorgeous colors and patterns. A wide range of bikini tops and bottoms that are easy to mix and match with different designs and coverage. There are also one piece swimsuits and surfing bodysuits. ‍ read more

I myself don't wear Bikinis, but my wife does and she normally drags me into Pakaloha Bikinis to get an honest opinion on how her bathing suits looks before purchasing. I must say the staff is always kind and willing to assist my wife in trying on numerous bikinis. We have always felt welcome when entering the establishment and I must say they really have a huge assortment of very high quality bikinis, suits and tops many of which can be worn by mix matching such an assortment of beautiful patterns and colors. We always recommend Pakaloha to all our friends. read more

I really wanted to buy a bikini at this store during my visit to North Shore. Unfortunately the customer service was not what I expected. After greeting me, she followed by mentioning she didn't eat all day. So I asked if she needed me to leave, she said that she'll give me some time to look. And that made me feel uneasy and I thought that was rude. It made me feel as if I have to rush to look for something or just get out. So I left. I come to Hawaii once every year I'll be sure not to visit this store ever again and I advised the other ladies of this type of behavior from that local worker. read more

Seriously the BEST BEST BEST swimwear! And the quality you cannot beat! I love the variety and how helpful the staff is. If you are looking for swimwear on the NS, Pakaloha Bikinis are the VERY BEST! Love that they are locally owned and the owner is the sweetest lady! read more

After an entire day at the beach, not sure why but the husband decided he wanted to treat me to a new bikini! We were in the North Shore area for the Giovani's Shrimp Truck and after eating decided to go bikini shopping at his request. What's funny is this was our first and it ended up being our only stop considering we walked out of here with a brand new bikini set. We walked in and started looking around and initially it was a little overwhelming but then we were approached and helped. After that it was smooth sailing. I love that they have just a couple styles but in all sorts of designs. My husband was looking for something specific but at the same time he wanted something simple - not with any fancy design or anything. Most bikini He says that takes a way from the bikini or is distracting. I was initially kind of shy because I had some crazy tan from our day at the beach already but the girl helping us was a sweetheart and I'm sure she has seen a lot worst LOL. I'm glad I did show her the bikini's after trying them on because I swear I was a small or medium but she explained to me that the bikini's expand or get lose in the water so it's better to get something snug. After 30 minutes of trying on bikini's we found a winner! The lady asked if she could take my polaroid to be put on the wall and I obliged. The husband was happy and I loved what he chose so we both walked out happy :) read more

Pakaloha Bikinis - Swimwear Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

Lots of collections but very overwhelming. However, for the style you actually want, they either run out of size or color. The quality of the bikinis here don't justice the price tag even when they are on sale. For the same price tag, you can get better quality such as ripcurl etc. Also, make sure you have your mind made up because the minute you ask for an exchange for unworn items, the sale girl's attitude will change 360 degree even after you spent hundreds of dollars there. read more

Pakaaloha Bikinis is a sweet bikini shop in Haleiwa! The bikinis styles are lovely and the material is super soft! Courtney was so helpful the minute I walked in the door and bonus points for all the local recommendations! read more

I guess I caught Marissa on a bad morning because after she opened the store a little late she seemed irritated that I walked into the store shortly after. She preceded to tell me to basically wait before I start looking at bikinis because she wanted to organize the store and watch me like a hawk. Fortunately when she noticed I was serious about making a purchase she became nicer and less irritated with my husband and daughters in the store as well. I mean my daughters could have been a perfect reason to mention the fact that they had a kid's line. Smh I'm not sure if her coffee had to kick in first but as a customer I should not feel like I have to step back out of the store after opening time so that you can get yourself and the store together. I totally felt like I was impeding on her time and space. It's not my fault you didn't arrive before opening hours to "organize" which consisted of moving one rack outside (which she stormed in front of me to move). And I was actually looking at the clothes on the rack when she preceded to move it. If the bathing suits weren't so nice I would have left like my husband was signaling me to do. So the better way to welcome a customer when you're not prepared is "Hi, how are you? Your welcome to look around. I will just be moving some things around, but if you have any questions or need assistance just let me know !" Which she said only after she calmed down and made me feel completely unwelcome and uncomfortable , which totally takes away from the epicness of my beautiful swimsuit. It's super sad we were a lot nicer to her than she was to us initially. read more

I can't speak about their bikinis, since we went in just to look at their hats and really liked their designs. Both my wife and I got one, even though I know this is primarily a women's bikini store, but they did have hats that looked more geared towards men. Anyway, customer service was great and helpful. read more

Love this place! I bought a bikini in Hawaii and loved the way it fit so i ordered another one online. There was an issue with the color I wanted in my size, I got a call within two hours and the lady was sooo nice. She resolved the issue, and went above and beyond with communication and escalating shipping! Good quality and good service, I wish more customers were like this! read more

First off the shop owner and her girls are all super cool, friendly and very helpful. You won't leave the shop with a bikini if it doesn't fit right. I visited the shop in Haleiwa near Radio Shack twice and their van at the pipe masters surf contest just once. They were having an epic sale on all their discontinued inventory with baskets of bikinis to sift through. I walked away with 3 tops and 3 bottoms. It should have been 7 pieces, but I noticed one was missing from my bag when I got in the bus. So, I quickly got off the bus and walked back to get the super hot green patterned missing piece, and they were ever so nice in doing so. Unfortunately, during my walk back to the Pakaloha van with a bum toe....I must have dropped my solid black ruched bottom. *insert hysterical crying emoji face here*. Some lucky girl at Pipe will be going home with a brand new bikini bottom. :( With tops and bottoms in every color of the rainbow plus prints and a variety of styles(multi wear tops etc), they have something for everyone. You can get normal bottoms or ruched bottoms. And don't think for a minute that you can't fit into them at first glance. Looks are super deceiving. I thought to myself, uhhhh, these bottoms look like they would fit a twelve year old. However, to my pleasant surprise the bottoms fit quite nice! Perfect actually. Mind. Blown. So give yourself a chance before just looking and leaving. You'll thank me later. ;). The tops were all very comfy yet secure as well. Win win. I definitely felt secure in the fit more so than the bikini I bought on the north shore last year when I wiped out and almost came out in my birthday suit. One thing that drew me in was that they are made for surfing. Needless to say, the colors and prints are great, the fit is great and I'm excited to kick it in these! I could wear these swimming, relaxing in the sun, surfing or doing other water sports and spare the random boogie boarder a flashing of what my mama gave me. Surf lesson is tonight and I'll be in my Pakaloha bikini. ;) PS...if anyone reading this found my black bottoms, I'd really love to have them back( I know it's a far cry, but stranger things have happened!) If there were a fingers crossed emoji, I would insert it here!! read more

Super sweet girl Alissa was so helpful and wrote down the styles my friend tried on. A very beautiful selection to choose from! Beautiful prints and I can tell the quality of the swimsuits are very well made. The boutique is nestled on the back side. The sign is on the main road, but you have to walk on the backside where the entrance is located. Beautiful bright and clean boutique! Love it! read more

Super cute hand made bikinis!! The sales girl was so sweet and helpful. These bikinis are great quality and designed to make your butt look great :) Lots of colors and styles to choose from. I'm addicted! Oh, and they have a kama'aina discount :) read more

Pakaloha Bikinis - Lanikai Top. Braided and criss-crosses the back. So comfortable. No pinching at your neck! - Swimwear Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

Stay away from this place, it's a tourist trap. The quality is really bad and the tops have zero support. I would rather buy a bikini at target. read more

OBSESSED with my new bikini! The fabric feels like butter...I could wear this suit all day every day! Super durable and stays in place while playing in the waves and volleyball. My shopping experience was a breeze and totally brightened up my day. Nadia was so helpful! I struggle with indecision on solo shopping ventures, so her kind and patient spirit was just what I needed. There were so many cute prints and styles -- I can't wait to go back for more!! read more

I started following Pakaloha bikini on Instagram by accident (I think it's because I'm a sucker for cute bikinis and I follow a lot of brands). I'm so happy my friend and I found the store (also by accident) this past Sunday as we were wondering around on the other side of the store. The gal working was super friendly, helpful and patient. I walked away with 2 pieces, 1 bandeau top and 1 bottom. I absolutely love them and can't wait to go back to the store and get more!! read more

Needed to re-stock my "go-to" bikinis and Pakaloha did the trick! Love the bottoms I got, especially since they were on sale. Marissa was such a sweetheart - so helpful and honest. Give that girl a raise! read more

I really loved Pakaloha Bikinis because the cut of the bottoms are super flattering and stay on well for surfing. I am super bummed at the poor service I've received, though, and won't be shopping here anymore. I own quite a few of their bikinis in lots of different shades, and have only had issues with the ones with green dyes. The last one I bought discolored the first time I wore it. I had previously let them know about this issue just as feedback for them to use, but I was very disappointed when they refused to let me exchange my top after it discolored from one wear, especially considering they've used my photos on their Instagram and I've been a repeat customer and promoted their brand to friends. The service at the maui store has always been very friendly, but I can't say the same for the oahu store. The girls always seem annoyed to be bothered by customers. It's sad for me because I really loved this company and I loved supporting a local business. Anyway if you don't mind the subpar service and shop for their other colored suits, they are very flattering on everyone I've seen in their suits! read more

I used to spend 150$ plus on designer bikinis that would fall off in the ocean or else would not last very long (longer than 6 months). Now that I found Pakaloha- I'm never changing! They have all the best swimsuits and cuts for water sports! I love their shorts for paddling, their pants for yoga, their bodysuits for surfing and their bikini bottoms for surfing, diving and swimming! No wonder Maui loves them! Not only that but their prices are much more affordable and they last forever!!!! If I had to choose between San Lorenzo's 175$ bikinis and Pakaloha's 90$ set- I definitely pick Pakaloha! Better quality, longevity and friendly service! Stoked they're in Hale'iwa now! Thanks for sharing Maui! read more

I always dip into this tiny bikini boutique and have never had any service or acknowledgment what so ever. Everytime I have walked in the girl working didn't even look up from her phone. Today was completely different and I had a amazing experience. I walked in and Megan was amazing. She immediately asked me what I was looking for and within 15 minutes she helped my pick out the top I needed and I was heading out the door. Megan was above helpful and informative. She made it so simple to swimsuit shop with little girls in tow. Megan's is hands down the beat service I have ever recieved coming in and out of this boutique for the last 8 years. I will be back to and I am super stoked about it. Thank you so much Megan for everything. read more

The bikini's themselves are incredibly flattering for all shapes and sizes, and come in all colors of the rainbow. However, the sales girl that working that day was rude to the point that I almost walked out of the store without trying anything on. It was as if until she confirmed that I was buying something that she changed her attitude. Now that I know how the store works (the colors run down the walls in the different styles) I would go back to get another suit, but not sure how I had a different experience than others... Pricing is ~$100 for a full suit. read more

First time here and loved it! The lady working there, wish I caught her name, was awesome. Made me feel good and helped me out a lot! Got a super cute bikini and will definitely be back! read more

Alyssa made my first experience here easy and wonderful! stepped out of my comfort zone by getting a Brazilian bikini bottom... Alyssa made this an enjoyable experience with her ideas and product knowledge de. my BF was sold on the bikini as well.!! Walked out with my Honolulu rouched bottom and a braided bikini top.. And a trucker hat to match the outfit. Def will be back to support this local business. read more

Amazing store, the salesperson Megan is so nice, patient and honest. She helped me find the perfect bikini bottom I always wanted. Bought 3 pieces: 2 bottoms and 1 top. I will back for more! read more

Me, My girlfriend and her teenage daughter had the pleasure of shopping here today. Julie was absolutely amazing and made bathing suit shopping such a pleasure. They have a great selection of mix and match pieces, all very reasonable. If you are in Haleiwa and looking for a cute suit stop by and support this fantastic local business. I will defiantly be back. read more

This is my favorite place to get swimwear! Stop many varieties of colors, patterns, and styles. Marissa was so amazing in helping me and my posse out, we couldn't thank her enough. Go here if you need a pick me up cuz you will be treated like a queen! read more

From the friendly greeting and AMAZING customer service, to the array of bikini colors and styles, this place is the best! Marissa was awesome and instantly helped me feel comfortable and confident while trying on various bikini styles and sizes. She was great in helping me pick the proper fit and size of bikini bottom and I left the store feeling confident and sexy! :) From now onward, I will only buy bikinis from this shop! Mahalo, Marissa! read more

They have the cutest bikinis in several different styles. The hats are cute as well. Service is always great because I got confused on how to put one of the one pieces on and the worker was kind enough to help me. Embarrassing moment but we just laughed it off read more

Got my first Two piece from Pakaloha I love the thickness of the fabric I know it will last long through much ocean activity!

We all know how traumatic bikini shopping can be. I walked into this shop braced for another disappointing experience. I couldn't have been more wrong. Marissa was absolutely amazing!! She was super patient in helping me find the perfect bikini for my figure, super body positive, listened to my needs - I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's my new fave bikini after years of giving up on them and settling for boring one-piece suits. The sizing at PakAloha is also much more appropriate, as opposed to San Lorenzo down the street, which has beautiful suits - but if you're larger than a B-cup or size 4 jeans you'll be totally out of luck. The PakAloha suits are also great for water sports as they'll stay on and look great! Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo!!! read more

I always go here and take my friends for the cutest bikini bottoms. The staff is super helpful and never judging. Highly recommend !!

marissa was a dream. she was so kind & helpful & fun to chat with... i left with a beautiful new swimsuit, that actually fit, was supportive, & got two thumbs wayyyy up from my boyfriend. thank you for creating an awesome product and for being awesome. read more
